(CBS4) – As more Coloradans get vaccinated, an unvaccinated group is seeing a worrisome increase in cases. The case rates for people between 11 and 17 have more than doubled since the start of April.
“We’re seeing more children who are either diagnosed or admitted. … That’s been going on for the last several weeks,” said Dr. Reginald Washington, chief medical officer at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
Washington noted they are the unvaccinated. With older Coloradans getting vaccinated, the young are left to face the disease as it begins to spread more easily.
